    Constantin,

    Are you certain your path for root and user are letting you get to the
    same version of VIM?

    If you have not found a solution, you might consider visiting this URL
    http://www.vim.org/community.php and subscribing to the VIM mailing
    list. It's at least as helpful as this one and more likely to help you
    solve a VIM specific issue.
